I usually ride my ENGWE EP-2 Pro, but I have a Trek 820 MTB, skateboard, and I recently bought a ripstick because it was $4 at good will and I always wanted to try (I am bad at it btw)

I use the other kind of single wheel ride. An InMotion V12 electric unicycle.

I've had a Rad Power Bikes Radrunner Plus for about 2.5 years now. It's not much to look at, but it's a hell of a grocery hauler now -- front basket, pannier adapters on each side, and modular options on the back (easy switching between large rear basket, rear seat, and Topeak trunk bag). I've upgraded to full hydraulic brakes too, given that I live near some annoyingly steep hills. It gets the job done!

I have an Engwe EP2 pro too lol, definitely not the best but for the money I really like it. Got it on sale for $700 last month, it's my first ebike.

breh, I think we got the same deal on the same bike: Did you see it on slickdeals?

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Sure did.

Yeah, I had a battery issue where the charge doesn't show correctly and so far the support has been fucking awful: Very reminiscent of trying to deal with Creality support, which is also an absolute dumpster fire.

I have the same problem but have been trying to get support from geekbuying where I bought it from - they suck but for $700 it's pretty fast.

Nice username btw

Bought it from the same place :/

Thanks!

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah these guys suck. Never buying from them again.

I alternate between my trusty Onewheel Pint (which I've rewheel modded and got a GT40 battery mod for, so I can comfortably go 35-40km on a single charge) - mostly rides around the city and on trails - and a Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser. This one is fully kitted for my SO to sit on the back or to go for weekly grocery hauls (I also got panniers at the front, haha), it's a very nice ride and I love it.
